Is There A Formal Process For Changing Car Colour In Nigeria? by Nobody: 4:24pm On Oct 24, 2013
I will like to change the colour of my car.
Can I do that arbitrarily? Or do you I need to get formal permission from any agency or parastatal? Or will a court affidavit be okay?
I need enlightenment.

Visit any FRSC office to inquire from them, though I think you might as well need a police report.

Go to licensing office and tell them you want to change your car color. Cost me about N500 to do mine. They would just change it on the computer and print out a copy for you. I hope this helps.
